REAL-TIME AND LABEL FREE ANALYZER FOR IN-VITRO AND IN-VIVO DETECTION OF THE SUSPICIOUS REGIONS TO CANCER

摘要

A system for in-vivo cancer diagnosis within a living tissue. The system includes an electrochemical probe, including three integrated electrodes. Each electrode includes a layer of vertically aligned multi-walled carbon nanotubes on tip of a needle. The tips of the electrodes are configured to be put in contact with a portion of the living tissue. The system further includes an electrochemical stimulator-analyzer electrically connected to the electrochemical probe and a processor electrically connected to the electrochemical stimulator-analyzer. The processor includes a memory having processor-readable instructions and a processing unit configured to access the memory and perform a method by executing the processor-readable instructions. The method includes recording a cyclic voltammetry (CV) diagram with an oxidation current peak from the portion of the living tissue utilizing the electrochemical stimulator-analyzer, measuring the oxidation current peak, and detecting cancer-involving status of the portion of the living tissue based on the oxidation current peak.
